Data completeness rate

When all data necessary for the statistics is collected from administrative registers, the statistics (theoretical speaking) is complete covering the population aged 16-64 who is receiving some sort of public benefits. In practice some sorts of public benefits are usually underestimated with up to 1-2 per cent for the latest quarter. The statistics is not attached to any demands (regulations or guidelines) regarding 'completeness'.
